Re: Linux

Hi Nenad!

Me and probably the vast majority of this list would recommend Oracle Linux 7.  Not OL 8, it's still not mainstream. For Instance, I was not able to link ACFS driver when I updated the kernel. As for the hypervisor, that is a business choice. The principal ones are VMWare, Hyper-V and OVM. They can all do similar things. That decision is tied to your cloud policy and is probably price and discount based. As for ACFS, I can only say the best things: it's a very reliable, high performance cluster file system. Snapshots require additional license so most of the clients that I work with don't use them. I can attest that ACFS is light years ahead of OCFS2 and performs well, in a reliable manner.

Regards
